India's batting icon, Virat Kohli, rose to the occasion in the 2024 T20 World Cup final against South Africa. Amidst an ominous start that saw India lose three wickets in quick succession, Kohli played a pivotal role in stabilizing the innings with a crucial half-century.
Kohli's innings was a testament to his experience and resilience. Having faced criticism for his form in the lead-up to the final, he silenced his detractors with a composed and determined performance. His innings not only provided India with a much-needed platform, but also served as a reminder of his class and ability to deliver under tremendous pressure.
Kohli forged a valuable partnership with Axar Patel, who played an equally vital role in resurrecting India's innings. Together, they steadied the ship and gave India a fighting chance in the match, despite the early setbacks.
